Default The Avatar Debate.

Now been a hot blooded male I love to see all things female but on a car forum I feel that some avatars are a little embarrassing when my wife is looking over my shoulder. This thread is not about pointing fingers at people but merely to see what other people think. Personally if I want to see wobbling boobs for example I would not go to a car forum to find them. Pics of woman in a none sexual way though is ok for me. This is not a thread to get things like that banned so no flamming me. Look in these threads for some examples.

I must not be looking hard enough, I haven't seen anything offensive. Alot of other forums are worst.

Today nudity is everywhere, as long as it's subte and not gross, it should be ok.

Most don't really bother me.. I do find myself mesmerised at times by some :
And before some sicko says it, no I am not inclined that way..

I prefer to see car avatars mostly.... but it doesn't really bother me that much.

The problem with the rude avatars is that it makes it damn hard to enjoy the forums at work.

I have to skip a few members posts because if anyone saw their avatars I could lose my job.

I understand that an Avatar is a way of showing your individuality but seriously you gotta wonder why some people would want to present these images in reference to themselves.

I tend to agree. Ther's no need for overly suggestive avatars - plenty of other places to find that stuff on the internet elsewhere.

I agree with nudity as self expression for art, but yeah, tone it down a little, it's a car forum...

Torri please....
Maybe if your worried about the avatar content at work.. you shouldnt be looking whilst at work :P:P.
Or are you saying that if you got caught browsing the forums whilst at work is ok or
If you got caught browsing the forums and a pair of jubilees jumped up at you, you'd be in trouble.

Thanks for bringing this up and agree 100%, some of the avatars are beyond acceptable for work place viewing.

I have no hesitation in reviewing users avatars if anyone wants to PM me the user details

Cheers

If anyone has a problem with anything, report it.
There'll be no nudity on here, artistic or otherwise. The internet is a big thing and there's plenty of places for that.
As much as I find the BB threads offensive from an intelligence point of view, most of the time they aren't actually offensive.
Again, if something is over the top, report it and a moderator will have a look at it.

I am allowed to view the internet at work hence the reason I have access. However I am not allowed to look at adult content or anything that someone else in the office may find offensive.

There are a number of avatars on this forum that push that envelope.

It is also about family viewing - isn't this forum supposed to be family friendly?

Yes we are all for promoting a family forum.
like XA Coupe and Laminge have stated in there above posts, if anyone finds anything on this site offence or of poor taste, report it to a Mod or Admin and it will be reviewed.

You make some valid and interesting points.The problem is there is a wide variety of age levels that use this forum and this also makes way for a wide variety of taste and humour.I personnally don't find it at all offensive.
Cheers Alex.

I'll go with the status quo here, the internet is riddled with porn and childish crap, there is always Fordmod's new site for those that way inclined, don't need it here.
